Well that's what the photograph says about itself. The palapas look a lot like fotos of Barra de Navidad and Melaque from the 1950's so no reason to doubt it. The hill directly behind downtown is probably where this was taken. I saw this on the La Manzanilla message board and they said it came from Facebook but I had no luck trying to find a little more info or it's origin.

La Manzanilla, a village of approximately 1,500 indigenous and winter residents, is located in the southwest corner of the state of Jalisco along what is known as Costalegre (Costa Alegre) or the "happy coast".
